Nice to see SOMETHING "old" getting crazy good prices! :)

I agree but these are ridiculous !!  Of course asking and getting prices are way different !!  Many put these stupid prices on hoping they will get one dumb bidder !!

It seems like Pyrex and Corning are fetching the money now along with some Fenton glass but never the pieces I have.

Those are insane prices - can't believe anyone ever paid that - even if it belonged to someone famous.

Makes you wonder if they did the scheme of "putting ii up for sale on ebay.  Having someone they know (or made up) bid and win it.  Sale falls through but shows that it sold for that price in order to raise values."  That way they don't have to pay Ebay for the sale either and "unknown/fake person" gets kicked off of Ebay.

Similar Corning Ware pieces can now be placed on garage sale and flea market tables with prices of $20, $30 or $50 each ….. and anyone that seen those E-Bay prices won’t go home without them.
